SKYWARN

Your local SKYWARN organization

What is SKYWARN? Simply put, it is a group of emergency management volunteers and amateur radio operators who are trained to identify and report severe weather conditions. This information with a recommendation from these trained spotters is used by local law enforcement to determine if it is necessary to activate the outdoor sirens for that particular city within Des Moines County.
